    More than 95 per cent of international trade is conduced by sea

    routes since ancient times, sea routes are being used for

    transportation of cargo from one continent or country to Coastal

    shipping is also used for transporting the cargo from one port

     within the country to another.

     For example in India the cargo can be transported from Chennai

    port to Visakhapatnam port using the costal shipping route.

      Sea routes are used for carrying bulj

    commodities like such as coaling and thermal coal mires, fertilizers

    rock phosphate etc, and liquid go like crude oil ammonium acids

    etc Ideally the goods with high volume and kiw vakye are suited

    die ocean transport in the era of containerisation even the high

      In 1956, the first containerised ship belonging

    to sea land corp. carried 58 twenty feet containers. The modern

    ships have the capacity to carry 7000 containers.

    One of the biggest ships owned by Maersk-sea

    land is 1,138 feet long from end to end and 140 feet wide at mid

    Liners ships : Liners ship represent the organized sector

    of the shipping industries due to their fixed schedules of arrival and

    departure, Pre-determined voyages and trade routes and published

    ocean freight rates. Liner shipping is governed by shipping conference

    and offers the following advantage to shippers:-

    Regular sailings to scheduled ports of call.

    Stable freight rates for a long period of time which helps the

    shipper to quote C & F prices with confidence.

    Uniform rates for all shippers.

    Coverage of wide range of ports.

     They are free to move anywhere on the high seas at their will.

     Their voyage routes and schedules are flexible.

     They travel from the port to another port o various trade

    routes looking for the cargo and carrying the same to various

    routes looking for the cargo and carrying the same to various

    destinations around the world.

     They arrive or depart without a fixed route or schedule.

     They fix their voyages according to availability of cargo

    and as per the requirement of the shippers of these

    cargoes.

     The freight rates of tram ships depend upon the

    demand and supply conditions in the shipping

    industry. If there is a glut of shipping space the tramp

    freight rates plummet. Whereas in case of shortage of

    shipping space, the tramp freight rates shoot up.

     The cargo space on the tramps is booked by the

     brokers located in major port cities like New York,

    London, Rotterdam Hamburg, and Hong- Kong etc.

     Air freight calculation

    Introduction

     Airlines that are members of theInternational Air Transport

     Association (IATA) are bound by their membership to comply

     with tariffs issued by IATA. However since 11th September

    2002, airfreight rates are now extremely negotiable.

     Airfreight rates cover transportation from the airport of

    loading to the airport of discharge.

     These rates do not include the following:

    • Collection of air cargo from the consignor's/exporters

    premises

    • Delivery of cargo from the airport of destination to the

    consignee's premises

    • Storage of cargo before or after loading

    Customs clearance in the country of destination• Any duties and taxes that may have to be paid

    • Insurance

    Chargeable/volumetric weight

     Airline freight rates are based on a "chargeable weight",

     because the volume or weight that can be loaded into an

    aircraft is limited. The chargeable weight of a shipment will

     be either the "actual gross mass" or the "volumetric weight",

     whichever is the highest. The chargeable weight is

    calculated as follows: 1 metric ton = 6 cubic metres. In order

    to establish if the cargo will be a weight or volumetric based

    shipment.

    Step 1

    Measure the parcel/cargo along the greatest length, width

    and height of that parcel. For example; 100 cm (L) X 100 cm

    (W) X 100 cm (H) = 1 000 000 cm3. Next, weigh the parcel;

    assume it weighs 150kg.

    Step 2

    Now divide the 1 000 000 cm3 by 6 000 = 166,66 kg. You

    have now converted the centimeters (cm) into kilograms (kg)

    Step 3

    Now compare the weight to the volume. If the weight is 150

    kg then the airline would base the freight on the higher

    amount being: 166,66 kg

     Air freight calculations

     The airline calculates freight based on weight or volume,

     which ever yields the greatest amount. Airlines quote freight

    rates based on the following rate structures:

    • A basic minimum charge per shipment.

    • General cargo rates quoted for per kilogram. This rate

    applies without reference to the nature or description

    of the parcel, which is to be freighted.

    • Specific commodity rates apply to certain goods of

    specific descriptions, such as fresh produce. These

    rates are lower than the general cargo rate, and they

    provide breakpoints at which the level of the rate

    reduces further.

    Example:

    0 - 50 Kg @ R22.00/per kg

    50 - 100 Kg @ R19.00 per kg

    100 - 150 Kg @ R17.00 per kg

    Unit Load Device charges

     These rates are charged per container/ULD without

    reference to the commodity loaded therein. Calculation offreight rates:

    Let us assume the following figures:

     The freight rate is R18.00 per kg

     The weight of the parcel is 300 kg

     The dimensions are: 114,6 cm X 120,4cm X 132,5 cm

    (round the cm's up or down)

     Therefore: 115 cm X 120 X 133 cm = 1 835 400 divide by 6

    000 = 305.9 kg (having converted cm's to kg's now round up

    the kg's to the next half a kilogram = 306 kg.

     As the freight rate quoted by the airline is R18.00 per kg, we

    calculate the price as follows:

    306 kg X R18/kg = R5 508.00

     The freight rate will not be calculated on the actual mass

    300 kg X R18.00 = R5 400.00 as the airline will always use

    the greater amount either the kg, or volumetric weight.

    Consolidation

    Consolidation is an economical method of moving cargo by

    employing a consolidator. The consolidator receives cargofrom a number of suppliers/shippers and then combines

    these cargoes into one consignment by packing the goods

    into a Unit Load Device. The consolidator then books the

    Unit Load Device with an airline. The supplier/shipper

     would have a contract of carriage with the consolidator of

    the cargo and in turn the airline would have a contract of

    carriage with the consolidator. The airline would issue an

    air waybill to the consolidator when accepting the Unit Load

    Device and in turn the consolidator would issue the

    supplier/shipper with a house air waybill.

     The air waybill

     The air waybill, unlike the ocean bill of lading is not adocument of title to the goods described therein, however it

    does perform several similar functions these are:

    • It is a receipt for the goods

    • It is evidence of the contract of carriage between the

    exporter and the carrier

    • It incorporates full details of the consignor/shipper,

    the consignee/receiver and the consignment/goods• It is an invoice showing the full freight amount

    • It must be produced, be it in an electronic format, at

    the airport of discharge for clearing purposes

     All copies of the air waybill, together with the commercial

    invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and any other

    document which may be necessary for clearing the goods

    through customs, these documents are carried in the flightcaptain's bag.

    Seafreight calculations can broadly be divided into two main

    components; breakbulk and containerised. In this section

     we deal with how you should calculate the freight costs of

     both of these two types of seafreight.

    Break bulk cargo calculations

    Break bulk cargo, is cargo that is unitised, palletised or

    strapped. This cargo is measured along the greatest length,

     width and height of the entire shipment. The cargo is also

     weighed. Shipping lines quote break bulk cargo per "freight

    ton", which is either 1 metric ton or 1 cubic metre, which

    ever yields the greatest revenue.

    Example:

     A case has a gross mass of 2 Mt.

     The dimensions of the cargo are:

    2.5 X 1 X 2 metres

     The tariff rate quoted by the shipping line is: USD 110.00

     weight or measure (freight ton)

    Step 1

    Multiply the metres 2.5 X 1 X 2 = 5 metres Compare to the

    mass = 2 Mt.

    Step 2

    Calculate the freight with the greater amount either the

    mass or the dimension. 5 X USD 110.00 = USD 550.00

    Freight would be paid on the measurement and not the

     weight. All shipping lines carrying cargo in a break-bulk

    form insist on payment based on a minimum freight charge

     which is equivalent to one freight ton, one cubic metre or

    one metric ton.

    Full Container load calculations and surcharges

    Freight rates for containers are based on the container as a

    unit of freight irrespective of the commodity or commodities

    loaded therein, (FAK) Freight All Kinds. The shipping lines

    quote per box (container) either a six or twelve metre

    container. From time to time, abnormal or exceptional costs

    arise in respect of which no provision has been made in the

    tariffs. For example a shipping line cannot predict themovement of the US Dollar or the sudden increase of the

    international oil price. These increases have to be taken into

    account by the shipping line in order to ensure that the

    shipping line continues to operate at a profit. These

    increases are called surcharges. All shipping lines

    accordingly retain the right to impose an adjustment factor

    upon their rates taking into account these fluctuations. All

    surcharges are expressed as a percentage of the basicfreight rate. Surcharges are regularly reviewed in the light of

    unforeseen circumstances, which may arise and bring cause

    for a surcharge increase.

    Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF)

    "Bunkers" is the generic name given to fuels and lubricants

    that provide energy to power ships. The cost of bunker oilfluctuates continually and with comparatively little warning.

    Example:

    Freight rate: Port Elizabeth to Singapore

    Freight rate: US Dollar: 1 250.00 per 6-M container

    + BAF 5.2%

    US Dollar 1 250.00 X 5.2% = US Dollar 65.00

     Add the two amounts together

    Currency Adjustment Factor (CAF)

     The currency adjustment factor is a mechanism for taking

    into account fluctuations in exchange rates, these

    fluctuations occur when expenses are paid in one currency

    and monies earned in another by a shipping company. The

    currency adjustment factor is a mechanism for taking into

    account these exchange rate fluctuations. It is always

    expressed as a percentage of the basic freight and is subject

    to regular review.

    Example:

    Freight rate: Port Elizabeth to SingaporeFreight rate: US Dollar: 1 250.00 per 6-M container

    + CAF 6.3%

    US Dollar 1 250.00 X 6.3% = US Dollar 78.75

     Add the two amounts together

    Freight rate: U S Dollar 1 328.75

     War Surcharge

     The outbreak of hostilities between nations can have a

    serious effect upon carriers servicing international trade

    even though they may sail under a neutral flag. Carriers

    sailing within the vicinity of a war zone may impose a war

    surcharge on freight to compensate for the higher risks

    involved and the higher levels of insurance premium, which

    they may be obliged to pay.

    Example:

    Freight rate: Port Elizabeth to Singapore

    Freight rate: US Dollar: 1 250.00 per 6-M container

    + WAR 5%

    US Dollar 1 250.00 X 5% = US Dollar 62.50

    Freight rate: US Dollar: 1 250.00 per 6-M container

    + BAF 5.2%

    + CAF 6.3%

    + WAR 5%

     Total amount of surcharge 16.5%

    US Dollar 1 250.00 X 16.5% = US Dollar 206.25

    (add to freight rate)

    US Dollar 1 456.25

    Port Congestion Surcharge

    Congestion in a port for a period of time can involve

    considerable idle time for vessels serving that port. When a

    ship lies idle, this creates a huge amount of loss for the

    ship's owner. Shipping lines therefore have the right to

    impose a surcharge on the freight to recover revenue lost. Another factor which influences port congestion surcharge

     would be labour disputes. Port congestion surcharges are

    calculated as a percentage of the freight rate as expressed in

    the previous examples.

    Consolidation services

     The consolidator or groupage operator hires a containerfrom a shipping line and then sells that space to his

    clients/exporters. The benefit for the exporter is that small

    quantities which, would not fill a full container load, can be

    shipped by sea freight in a shipping container as an

    alternative to air freighting the goods. The consolidator

     would charge per metric ton or cubic metre, which ever

     yields the greatest. Example: US Dollar 89.00 Weight or

    Measure. The shipping line would have a contract ofcarriage with the consolidator and in turn the consolidator

     would have a contract of carriage with the exporter. The

    consolidator would be issued with an combined through bill

    of lading from the shipping line and then present the

    exporter with a house bill of lading (See bill of lading below)

     The bill of lading

     The bill of lading performs the following functions:

    • A contract of carriage between the shipper of the cargo

    and the carrying shipping company.

    • The name of the shipper and the receiver of the goods

    the consignee.• The contents of the packages as declared by the

    shipper.

    • Shipping details such as: port of loading and the port

    of discharge.

    • The bill of lading is a freight invoice and indicates if the

    freight costs have been prepaid by the exporter or will

     be paid by the importer, "freight collect".

    • The bill of lading states the number of packages, weight and dimension of the shipment.

    • It is a document of title to the goods stated thereon.

    Every original bill of lading signed by or on behalf of the

    shipping company is a document of title to the underlying

    goods. This special function of a bill of lading is achieved by

    a form of words which state: "In witness whereof the

    undersigned on behalf of the shipping company has signedthree bills of lading all of this tenor and date, one of which

     being accomplished the others to stand void".

    "Accomplishing" the bill of lading requires the surrender to

    the shipping line or its agents in the port or place of

    destination one of the signed original bills of lading duly

    endorsed by the consignee/importer. Unless and until one of

    the original bills of lading as described above is

    surrendered, the shipping line will not release the cargo to

    the consignee/importer. Upon surrender of any one of the

    originals the other originals bills of lading become void.

    Endorsed Bills of Lading

    Bills of lading can only be issued with the words "shipped

    on board", if the cargo has actually been loaded onto the

    named vessel at the port of loading. By insisting that the

    exporter supplies the importer with a "shipped on board"

     bill of lading, the importer obtains conclusive evidence that

    the goods have been loaded on board the intended vessel.

    Some importers insist that the exporter presents "shippedon board" bills as a condition for payment. "Received for

    shipment", bills of lading can be issued as soon as the

    goods have been delivered into the custody of the carrying

    shipping company or its agent either at the point of receipt

    or at the port of loading. Thus, a 'received for shipment", bill

    of lading will only indicate the ship in which the cargo is

    intended to be loaded on. The risk remains that the loading

    may, for many reasons delayed or the cargo may not beloaded at all.

    Banks responsible for the payment of funds in payment for

    goods under letters of credit will not release the funds if the

     bill of lading has been endorsed "received for shipment".
